America has been running a trade deficit with the country of china for many years now. The big problem with that is that American companies are saying the Chinese unfairly manipulates its currency. They keep it at the same level as the American dollar which isn’t fair.
The difference keeps Chinese goods cheap in America while raising the price of American goods in china. This creates an unfair advantage for Chinese companies and costs Americans millions of jobs. The U.S. government is attempting to address the issue and I hope they do so soon.
